Notes for 21xx / 31xx / 81xx phones
The older phones netmonitor has some differences when compared with the one of newer models, but
this manual can be used as a guide, because the overall working method and the display contents are
very similar in most cases.
Notes for 51xx/61xx/62xx/71xx/88xx/91xx/32xx and other phones
This document covers the majority of pages from these phones netmonitor. Some of them may have
little differences, like missing/additional pages, different info, etc.
The 51xx and 61xx pages are almost identical, there are a few pages concerning multiband information
in 6150 which are different in the singleband phones, and the xx90 pages are partially different, because
of some special things in GSM1900.
The 32xx has some more pages, which are not very well documented yet.
The 62xx and 71xx have a whole bunch of pages concerning W@P and the large internal flash memory.
These are not documented yet. If you have any clue about theses pages, send me a mail.
The 91xx pages are almost identical to the 6110 ones, with few additional pages.
The goal right now is to make an accessible manual, that will get better over the time. Please contribute
with all the info that you find relevant. Please note that this manual does only deal with pages which are
of known content, so if a page is not mentioned here, I have most likely no knowledge about the
meaning of the page.

Menu Modes
There are three Menu Display modes:
- the execute mode
- the data display mode
- the help mode
Different modes are marked in this manual as follows:
The execute mode is entered from the menu by selecting a menu directly with his number. If the test
index entered pertains to a test that resets a timer (test 80) for example, then the timer is reset as soon
as the OK button has been pressed in the menu, and the data display mode takes over. In other words,
the execute mode is of the one-shot type. To run another test in the execute mode, the Field Test
Display menu must be reactivated.
So, be very careful when jumping to a netmonitor page directly from the menu selection. You may
activate the execute mode incidentally, causing your phone to behave not as expected.
The data display mode is active by default when the Netmonitor is active. During data display mode, the
field test data is visible on the main display.
During help mode, one screen of instructions is shown for each test to make it easier to identify the test
in question. A long press of the asterisk (*) is used to toggle between these two modes.
The arrow keys (^,v) offer an easy way to switch to another test without using the menu. However,
nothing will be executed or set on although such tests would be passed. This is to prevent the user from
accidentally clearing any valuable data. The help mode is also a non-execute mode. Display numbers
have been selected in such way that no 5-terminated test number is an execute display.
Reserving SIM phonebook locations
When using a phone with enabled field test displays, it is highly recommended to put some default data
into the SIM phonebook locations that are used by some field test displays. Especially Test 17 (BTS
TEST) may give some confusing results if SIM phonebook location 33 is not correctly configured.
Additionally, this prevents accidental storing of phone numbers and names into such locations.
Displays 52 and 53 may also write some data to the SIM phonebook locations 35 and 36.
Reserving SIM SCM locations is not necessary if the user is sure that he will never select these displays
using menu shortcut (which executes the display in question).

Display 12 – Ciphering, hopping, DTX Status and IMSI
With this display it is possible to see whether the MS uses DTX or not.
This display must be activated from MENU to change DTX state. When MENU is not active
and the user is scrolling field test displays with NEXT and PREVIOUS, the DTX state
will not be changed.

This display is used to toggle the BTS_TEST flag in EEPROM. If BTS_TEST is set then
each time the mobile sends a search list it uses only the carrier number stored on
SIM phonebook location 33. Also the neighbour information from system information
messages is ignored. If the BTS_TEST flag is not set, then the value of SIM phonebook
location 33 is ignored and the mobile behaves normally (i.e. does neighbour
measurements according to GSM specifications).
To activate BTS TEST perform the following steps:
If activation succeeded, you will read "BTS TEST ON" in display 17. The 6210 will
show "BTS TEST REQUESTED" instead.
To deactivate BTS tests either select display 17 in execute mode or save a number in
SIM phonebook location 33 which does NOT represent a valid carrier number, then
switch power off and on OR force a cell reselection
CAUTION! The display does not show the value of the BTS_TEST flag in EEPROM. Although
the value is set, BTS_TEST can show to be off. If there is no legal carrier number in
SIM phonebook location 33 (GSM900: 1-124, GSM1800: 512-885, EGSM: 0, 975-1023) the
display shows that BTS_TEST is off. Also if the mobile was already registered to some
carrier before switching BTS_TEST status, the display can show a different value from
the one in EEPROM.
- Save desired channel number in SIM phonebook location 33
- Select display 17 in execute mode
- Switch power off and on OR force a cell reselection

Forces keyboard and display lights on/off while displaying any netmonitor screen. The
light will not remain on after leaving netmonitor

This test is meant to be used when some cells are tested before taking them into
commercial use. By setting the CELL_BARRED to on in the base station normal GSM
phones will not try to camp on these barred cells.
By selecting CELL BARR REVERSE, the MS will only use the cells which have CELL_BARRED
set.
By selecting CELL BARR DISCARD, the MS will use all cells, irrespective wether
CELL_BARRED is set or not.
NOTE: If a cell has been selected before barring state in phone is changed the
selected cell will remain the current cell. After the next cell reselection the cell
barring state is working as expected.
